I made an account as a longggggg term just lurker bc I saw you have no responses as of yet. Four year college is a joke in this day and age. Hear me out. I got pretty good grades in high school calculus, but I had no idea what any of it meant or was good for. Okay acceleration something something whatever. I'm not a math person. Community college has set me free. Call me a loser for going from a Damn good four year to (literally) a back pond hickville community college but I am getting a degree that I can earn more than at least when I researched it that an engineer can make baseline with maybe a max of 15k in costs. I'm not in debt. The most math I have to do is basic alebra. There are other options. Look at the mechanical part of engineering, there is a lot of work done just in manufacturing or repair and you make good money. Weld. Fix trucks. Become an apprentice at anything even plumbing. We are not all cut out for higher education and honestly I belive this is the best time to realize that. You're on financial aid so hopefully you have not sunk your finances, but my advice is to get out. You can make 100k a year fixing things your engineering peers fuck up. Seriously. You're not a loser or a bad provider if you do what's smart rather than what's expected of you. If you're a good provider you get your feet under you and get into something lucrative and rewarding. If you're not happy your family won't be. Not saying some dumb shit college advisor "follow your dreams" shit bc we all know that does not work out. But find a trade you can do better than your peers at (and if you made it to calc chances are your better than your community college peers) and take it to the next level. I belive it is better to do a great job at something your peers sneer at than to do a shitty job at something they do. Lord knows they'll be figuring out something you and I can't understand, but their furnace, plumbing, car will have a problem and, given the right training, you can fix it. They'll be struggling how to pay for new plumbing under 200k students loans and you'll be debt free all profit handing them the bill. There is no shame in community college education.
